Looking for 300+gal tank - Aquarium Advice

fishfirst · 01-03-2005, 07:58 PM

Hey just was wondering if anyone has a 300 gallon tank (or more) they want to get rid of. I have been looking for a complete setup for around $2000 dollars. Or just the tank for $500 ish. I live in central wisconsin so the closer the better!
Thanks

Check out www.glasscages.com. That is where I got my tank and it is awesome. Very affordable.

I got a glass cages tank as well. Very high quality. My 327 gallon cost $1275

Fishfirst,

Not trying to hijack the site, but do you know of anyone in central wisconsin with a 55gallon setup for sale?

Thanks.

did you check out Glass Cages?

I am going to throw in my comments here and say that I have emailed Glass Cages four total times from three different email accounts and I have never once gotten a reply. Very frustrating to want to spend money, and get absolutely zero response on multiple attempts. Apparently I need to call, or inquire about a larger tank.

It is a small operation that is extremely busy. Phone is the best way to contact them.

I am sure calling works better because it is much hard to avoid the phone. Just very frustrating to keep trying to contact a company and never getting any sort of response. Makes me leary of buying a tank when I do call them, what if I have a problem later? Will I be unable to get helped because they are small and overworked? If people need to call to get a response, they should just take the email off the website.

Just playing devil's advocate. They have excatly what I want to buy, a 30g acrylic cube tank with a built in a overflow and a bulkhead. It will be mine...

Well it sounds like you do not want to buy from them because they do not check their email. You should probably just use some other company. I do not work for them, I was just answering the original poster's question with a suggestion. Good luck, there is probably 100 places that could provide a 30 gallon cube acrylic, not too many places make 300 gallon tanks.
